Paul-Désiré Trouillebert was born in Paris in 1829 and died there in 1900. Associated with the generation which extended Barbizon's experience, he painted landscapes, portraits and nudes, but remained particularly appreciated for its rivers and ponds. A pond near Nangis was built between 1880 and 1895 in oil on canvas and measured 54.6 × 66 cm.
